Duckett on the block
<Aug. 19> Duckett looks to be on his way out of Atlanta. According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, at least four teams have contacted Atlanta over the past few days about trading for the 2002 first-round pick, including the Jets who are reportedly offering wide receiver Justin McCareins.
Duckett is in the final year of his contract, and dealing him now would allow the Falcons to receive compensation instead of letting him walk away for nothing after the season. He was almost deal on draft day when the Steelers offered a later-round picks.

Atlanta is in the market for a No. 3 receiver. They also are looking for backup help at safety, defensive tackle and defensive end. Despite those needs, exchanging Duckett for a draft pick is a possibility.

Watching that game last night...seems like we are awfully deep at Wide Receiver....

hmmmm.....
